Reply #87: people are saying? lyndon johnson was saying, actually

[pitohui]

it was no media creation, lbj was perhaps the first to say in public that jerry ford played too much football without a helmet, but ford was famous for being one of these smiling dummies in a perpetual fog

the man could not stand up, he was constantly drunk to the point of falling down even as president

he got where he was because nixon had to appoint someone who was in a fog and easily used

his issues of being a bear of very little brain were not media inventions, they were facts well known to anyone aware of the news of the day

athletes back in the day had many ways of obtaining good grades other than actually doing the work, this was just a reality of college life in the 20th century that athletes were treated differently
